Att utforska effekten av introduktion av funktionell grupp på fotoväxlingsförmågan av en bicyklisk-[2.2.2]-okta-2,5-dien (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

A bicyclo-[2.2.2]-octa-2,5-diene (BOD) is a molecular photoswitch which makes up a so-called molecular solar thermal energy storage system. A molecular photoswitch has the ability to capture, store and release solar energy as heat. These processes can be enhanced by functional groups introduction. In this thesis, the effect of functional group introductions on the BODs' solar energy storage capacity and the thermal activation energy required for energy release was investigated. Various functional groups were introduced onto the BOD, and the corresponding storage and thermal back conversion energies were computed. Correlations were identified, and further tested using a practical BOD and its related structures. Conclusively, it was revealed that a storage energy might relate to (i) an electron withdrawing functional group strength, and (ii) an electron rich atom placed next to an electron withdrawing group. A dimethyl introduced bridge was observed to reduce storage energy and seemed to have a positive effect on the thermal back conversion barrier energy. The practical BOD λmax calculation was also computed, however, the result was not so promising as expected. Very little could be said about the thermal back conversion barrier energy due to long computational time and unreliable data. 

 

Abstract [sv]

En bicyklisk-[2.2.2]-okta-2,5-dien (BOD) är en molekylär fotoväxlare som ingår i ett så-kallat molekylär sol-termisk energilagrings-system. En molekylär fotoväxlare kan fånga, lagra och släppa tillbaka solenergin i form av värme. Dessa processer kan förstärkas av funktionella gruppers introduktion. I den här kandidatuppsatsen utforskades effekten av introduktion av funktionella grupper på BODs solenergilagrings-kapacitet och den termiska aktiveringsenergin som behövs för energiutlösning.  Olika funktionella grupper introducerades på BODn, och korresponderande lagringsenergier och termiska tillbakaomvandlingsenergier beräknades. Korrelationer identifierades och testades extensivt mot en praktisk BODs och dess relaterade strukturer. Sammanfattningsvis identifierades lagringsenergins möjliga relationer till (i) en elektron-accepterande funktionell grupps stryka, och (ii) en elektron-rik atom placerade nära en elektrondragande grupp. En dimetyl introducerad bro verkade reducera lagringsenergin och positivt påverka den termiska tillbakaomvandlingsenergin. Beräkning av den praktiska BODns λmax gjordes också, men resultatet var inte det förväntade. Mycket begränsade slutsatser kunde dras om den termiska tillbakaomvandlingsenergin på grund av lång beräkningstid och opålitliga data.
